This is the most deranged logic you’ll ever hear.

It’s also not at all how the law works.

Netanyahu to the U.S. Congress, 2002: "If you take out Saddam, Saddam's regime, I guarantee you that it will have enormous positive reverberations on the region."

Quote from Washington Times editorial board "[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

literally dismantling our international security umbrella so Israel can make the broader middle east into a parking lot for its settler strip malls. Incredible stuff.

he's a robot

Glenn Greenwald: Every major presidential campaign is based on lies and knowingly false promises, but Trump made opposition to regime-change wars a central part of his political identity for a decade. His voters believed it. He's proven himself one of the most deceitful frauds in US history.👇 The American Conservative: Trump on the campaign trail: "We are finally putting America First. Our policy of war regime change and nation-building is being replaced by the pursuit of American interests… It is the job of our military to protect our security, not to be the policemen of the world."

Even now, Glenn Greenwald can’t bring himself to say “I believed Trump’s lies.” It’s “his voters believed it.” But it wasn’t just “his voters,” Glenn, it was you. You believed the lie. In fact, you promoted it. Incessantly.

You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America.

And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.

There’s a pretty robust case to make that the Iran Hostage crisis of 1979, the revolution itself, and the policies of the Iranian government towards the US
since, was all blowback from the CIA’s decision to overthrow Mossadegh in 1953. www.cnn.com/2013/08/19/p...

yes. as an Iranian-american the lead up to the Iraq war was much worse, the demonization, the wmd, the whiskey sexy freedom and then the bomb them all attitude. this is just so much stupider for all of us, baby shah is acting like Temu Chalabi. He should have gotten the noble stuff. all of it.

Illegal war on Iran does not seem super popular.

Chris Murphy: "It won't be the billionaire children of Donald Trump and his buddies that die. It's going to be the children of middle class and poor families all across this country that are gonna die for a war of choice, a war of vanity, an illegal war."

As we learn about the first deaths of US servicemembers, it’s worth remembering that not only did Trump not get the constitutionally required authorization for his war of choice, he didn’t even bother to address the nation. He made a brief video on his personal social media company at 3am.

Trump’s Reckless Decision to Pursue Regime Change in Iran And the risks Democrats face if they fail to strongly oppose his war.

I talked to @ichotiner.bsky.social about Trump’s reckless and illegal war, the Democratic leadership’s lame response, and how fixing our foreign policy will require fixing our broken politics. www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

Call me a raving radical but I literally do not care whether your imperialist massacre of children is “constitutional” or not.

Well, well, well …

A United States senator from the president's own party, one who serves on the Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, has no idea what's going on as America goes to war with Iran.

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

Remember how Trump's SOTU included a line about how he'd stopped eight wars, including Israel v. Iran?

WOW. 19 people, all who were imprisoned and mistreated in a foreign prison at the direct command of the United States, are brave enough to say “We are innocent, and we will endure more time imprisoned to prove that.”

I can only admire the enormous courage such a move takes.

Ortega Democrat for Congress Statement on Trump’s crime against peace The President of the United States has done what the Constitution expressly forbids: he has taken this nation to war by personal decree; without the consent of Congress; and without the approval of the American people whose sons and daughters will bear its costs. The Founders did not theorize about the dangers of unchecked executive power. They lived them—in the edicts of a distant king, in the obstruction of the administration of justice, in wars begun without the voice of the governed. They wrote what they knew: war powers, surrendered to a single individual, constituted an absolute tyranny. That power belongs to the Congress. That decision belongs to the people. A president who would commit this nation to war on his authority alone is not a guardian of our security. He is a threat to it. As a concerned citizen, I will not be silent as the constitutional order is dismantled in plain sight. As a congressional candidate, I will not stand by as this Congress abdicates its oath. As a member of Congress, I will not submit to war by executive fiat. For all of it strikes at the very heart of what this country is and what it must never become. History will record what was done in this moment. History will also record what we did in response. My answer will be clear: I stood for the Constitution, for the rule of law, and for the American people. This government derives its just powers from our consent and we do not consent to this. We did not arrive here by accident. We arrived here by acquiescence. Each transgression that went unanswered taught this president one lesson: that there are no consequences. This is a moment that calls for courage. The courage to break this cycle of impunity. There is no turning the page on this era. It must end with prosecutions.

Trump’s Illegal War Endangers Millions and Must Be Stopped Washington – In response to U.S. and Israeli government attacks on Iran, Win Without War Deputy Director Shayna Lewis released the following statement: “We condemn President Trump for joining Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu in a new and unnecessary war with Iran that threatens millions of people across the region, including U.S. servicemembers. “This war is flatly illegal — neither authorized by Congress, nor justified under any international law. Trump has similarly failed to make his case to the U.S. public in any way. Instead, he has capriciously upended critical diplomatic negotiations to ignite a major, open-ended, region-wide war. “Already, Trump’s violence, which he acknowledges may cost ‘the lives of courageous American heroes,’ has killed students and teachers, parents and children. If left unchecked, many more will die. Those deaths will be on Trump’s hands. “While Trump has tried to portray himself as an ally to brave protesters in Iran facing grave violence, the Iranian government’s horrific record does not justify this reckless push to war. We know from decades of tragic U.S.-led interventions that bombs do not deliver peace and freedom to people struggling under brutal regimes. “Congress must convene immediately and end this illegal war. This week both the House and Senate will have yet another chance at passing War Powers Resolutions to rein in our out-of-control president. They owe it to their constituents, their constitutional duty, and people across the globe to vote yes.”
